New Releases and Reissues from powerHouse Books

 

Our fresh new online site for the 2020s and beyond!

We’re thrilled to announce that we’ve finally arrived in the modern, post(ish)-pandemic era: our Brooklyn indie stores in Dumbo, south Park Slope, and Industry City—POWERHOUSE ArenaPOWERHOUSE on 8th, and POWERHOUSE @ IC—can now ship any book or bookstore item from the source directly to your door. Powered by IndieCommerce, please welcome www.powerhousebookstores.com.

We're a small family-run business, and have been stubbornly proud of our sole focus on the curated shopping experience, the engaging and thought-provoking programming, and slightly idiosyncratic way we’ve gone about bringing a bookstore into the areas of Brooklyn that have played important roles in our lives: Dumbo and Park Slope. And we're thrilled to have joined the vibrant and thriving network of creative enterprises in Industry City! 

Bookselling is very different today than it was just a few years ago, so we decided to bring a new capability to our approach to books and gifts, and we think this is a good 1.0 start. A lot of hard work has been done by our small bookseller and design team to get this new venture ready: now you can use this IndieCommerce-powered site to order any book or gift item your heart desires, for you or for any loved  one—or even moderately tolerated person—anywhere in the world, by mail or by pickup.

We will be bringing our own curated items to this site regularly, so we hope you will stick with us; we appreciate your business and we will be here as long as you are here. 

With fortitude and grace,
Susanne & Daniel
